ActionScript 3.0 :: Activating Buttons With A Controller Button?
Feb 24, 2009
I have a row of movie clips which act as buttons with an inactive state, active state, selected state etc. What I am seeking is kind of like a controller button which when clicked will activate or de-activate this row when clicked. I thought the best way might be to set frame labels and add a goto sript for the controller button to make each button go to the activate frame when the controller button is clicked.

I want to create some AS to disable and enable a button.Let's call this ButtonX. I want this button to appear disabled at first, and then allow the user the option of enabling this button(ButtonX) by clicking another button. Let's call this ButtonY. I cannot get this to work. I am attaching the code I am trying. I have this AS added to ButtonY and ButtonX is the instance name for the button I want to de-activate-activate.

Background: I have an Index.SWF that loads a Home.SWF. The website has essentially three layers, top layer is menu bar, middle layer is content, bottom layer is links to home page and e-mail. All the buttons on the top and bottom layers work. When I go to add a new button to the middle layer of Home.swf. I get all kind of errors associated with not referencing the right objects or having undefined objects.
I believe my structure is as follows:
> Index
>> Home
>>> Any other SWF through "myLoader" object and buttonclick function
Here's the code:
Select allvar myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(event.target.name);
this.myLoader.load(new URLRequest(event.target.name + ".swf"));
[Code] .....
So here's the structural question, "where do I define my new button?" and what code do I use so that the new button is placed on the home page works with the myLoader and buttonclick function located in the parent page? I have the same structural question, if I decide to add a loading status message, if "the pitch" button is clicked.

I've been trying to figure this out all day, with no luck - so I'm hoping someone here can help a girl out with her code .I'm working on what is essentially a 'character profile' page, in which you can scroll across the page to see different characters, and clicking on them will bring up a short profile.However, I've set up these different characters as separate buttons within the scrolling movie clip and can't seem to get them to activate.Here is the code I've used so far:
--
p1.visible = false;
p2.visible = false;
var tar:Number;[code]....
It doesn't work.However, using tutorials and trying different things, all I have achieved is making all the profiles appear at once, or having them activate when you press anywhere on the movie clip.In AS2, I would have used myMC.b1 to target it,

I have a simple movie clip of fading in text displaying on page with a sound. also have a button that allows user to go to the next frame. It is an exercise for students that basically goes like this: object presented in each frame, spelling (text) for that object fades in on mc with sound attached to mc, then button activates to let them move on to next. Since they are trigger happy, I don't want the button that allows to move on to activate on the frame until AFTER the movieclip and it's sound have played out (which is like 2 seconds so not a long wait) - otherwise, they would just keep clicking next and not listen to the material presented (it's very young children).
How do I set this up? I knew it's likely very simple, but I'm a newbie. Of course, I could always just do it on the timeline, but I have a ton of material, so am trying to use actionscript to be more efficient. for even younger kids, am considering setting this up so they can move to next frame through any keypress. I know how to set up a certain key, but not ANY key.

I'm having trouble with a controller I'm using with an FLV. I am a newbie when it comes to actionscripting. I have a project I'm working on that contains a 86:50 minute FLV and towards the end I will have a separate button appear to click on. The code I am implementing was from a different project that utilized the same functions but with a 4:49 minute FLV. I have an example of this at [URL]. As you can see the controller is set up for the 4:49 minute FLV and when the timer gets to 5:00 minutes that button comes in. I need to make the FLV play the whole way through and then at a specific point have the button appear and I can't seem to do it. Below is the only code I can see that pertains to this section.
scrub.onPress = function(){
scrub.startDrag(false, -365, scrub._y, 49, scrub._y);
dragging = "true";
}scrub.onRelease = function(){
var newNum:Number = (scrub._x - -365) * .7625;
mainVid.seek(newNum);
scrub.stopDrag();
dragging = "false";

Ok so, I have a button called btnEnter and its instance name is enter. Then, I have a movie clip called mcRotatingDot and its instance name is center. These two work so that when the mouse is over the button, the dot blinks. When the mouse is no longer over the button there is a fade in from alpha 0 to 60 of the dot. It all works fine, here is the code that I am using on the movie clip:
onClipEvent (load) {
//this sets the initial properties of our clip
this._xscale = 75;
this._yscale = 75;[code]...........
1)How can I make the movie clip blink with pure action script? And not having to do a stupid tween on the movie clip's timeline.
2)Can a button activate more than one movie clip? Because I am also trying to make the same button (aka. btnEnter, instance name enter) to change the rotation speed of another movie clip to spin faster. Here is the code for the other movie clip called mcRotatingCircle instance name outter:
onClipEvent (load) {
//this sets the initial properties of our clip
this._xscale = 1000;[code]............
Yet the movie clip will not spin faster on roll over. The only thing that I thought could go wrong is that there is another instance of the same movie clip mcRotatingCircle, named middle on the stage. I tried absolute addressing the outter instance, but it just won't work.

Basically I am trying to link two buttons so that two separate areas activate as one button including with rollovers etc. I am creating a flash application that features a series of tabs along the top of the page that when rolled over, will light up. When clicked on, these tabs will take the user to a different page. My problem is that I have an image on the left hand side of the application that features areas of the image that will take the user to the same place. I wish to link the button rollovers so that when the user rolls over the tab, the image will light up and vice versa. I have been unable to find a solution to this myself - the closest I came was making the area one button, but due to the distance the image and tabs are apart, the whole screen becomes one big button!

I have a class file which prints a flash object. I don't want the print job to activate until a button is clicked. The print activation is a package and referenced by the document class. How would I code this to activate only when a button is pressed/ Currently it activates when the movie is played.

I'm having trouble controlling the PAUSE and PLAY states of the pause/play button located on the Media Controller component, while streaming an .mp3 file.
- I set the button to the PLAY state (which shows the pause button) in the authoring enviroment. (Good).
- I set the media, and play the mp3 file. (Good).
- After the .mp3 file is done playing, the button goes back to the PAUSE state...DESPITE a fucntion I have that loads my next mp3 file).
I would like to be able to control the button states to reflect that the player is still playing. (ie. showing the pause image)
I thought "audioController.playing = true;" would do the trick...but it's not working correctly.Below is my code:
//Loads and Plays Audio
Code:
function loadAudio() {
audioPlayer.setMedia("audio/" + audioNames[_global.nCurAudio]);[code]...............

I have a map with a list of items to the side. I want the list to work as buttons and highlight both the button and the particular image on the map... and when you click you link to a certain location.I also want to be able to MouseOver the map, have both the image on the map and the corresponding 'button' from the list highlight - but when you click, you go to a different location than if you would have clicked from the list.I have it set up - but something is conflicting. Here is how I have my code set:
Code:
BUTTON_ONE.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

i'm trying to use org.simplemvc for my first mvc project. i'm getting it piece by piece, but I can't figure out how to get the controller from a class of mine that extends view.I thought it would be as simple as just calling a method from it's super, view, the controller getter. but it tells me the property doesn't exist, so I'm thinking it has something to do with the interface.[code]

I'm using CS4 and encountered an issue that I can't resolve when using the controller. When an audio file (MP3) is on the timeline, I hit play on the controller to listen to audio but when I hit stop, the play head stops while the audio continues to play. I also noticed that when scrubbing the timeline you can't hear the audio.
Has anyone encountered this? This issue doesn't happen in CS3 and since a lot of my work deals with syncing graphics to narration I have to go back to CS3, which I don't want to do.

The same things happens in Safari, Firefox and I.E.Any thoughts about how can i make this work without the need to click somewhere on screen before it works?

The first is that when loading an external swf in my main SWF I get this in the output window:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at audio_fla::list_1/frame1()
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite()
at flash.display::MovieClip()
at audio_fla::MainTimeline()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at audio_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
But it still works. Its an mp3 player. The other problem is that the loaded SWF has a volume controller. When I test the external SWF by itself it works fine. When I load it on my main SWF when I start to drag the handle on my volume slider and MOUSE_UP outside the handle it still keep dragging the handle.
The code of my main SWF is:
import caurina.transitions.*;
var _currentCategory:String = "";
var percent:String = "";
var loader = new Loader();
loader.name="videoLoader";

I am working on a flex application which makes calls to an .NET webservice. I am trying to follow the MVC design pattern. I have created a model, which stores all information received from the webservice. The webservice itself is created by actionscript in the controller. The view in my case, consists of various user-defined components (multiple .mxml files).
The Model is a singleton class, and each of the views accesses a getInstance of the model. The question is how do i access the webservice (i.e. controller) from each of these components? Does the controller also need to be a singleton class just like the model? and let each component get an instance of the controller in order to access the webservice?
